Carlos Sainz has been let go by Ferrari despite achieving their only race victory in 2023 as the Scuderia have shown interest in acquiring seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton as his replacement.
The recent headlines in the Formula 1 world have focused on a few specific reports – the allegations of sexual misconduct against [Name], the innovative front wing design introduced by Mercedes in their 2024 challenger, and [Name]’s unexpected move to Ferrari in 2025. After spending more than a decade as a loyal Silver Arrows racer, Hamilton has expressed his childhood dream of driving for [Name]. As a result, he will head to Maranello at the end of the upcoming season, leaving a vacant seat at Mercedes.
Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari has left Carlos Sainz Jr. uncertain about his future as he does not have a confirmed driving seat in 2025. Meanwhile, Ferrari has extended [Name]’s contract for multiple years, forming a formidable duo with Lewis Hamilton to compete for championships on behalf of the Italian team. Carlos Sainz Jr’s father is currently working hard to secure a seat for his son at another top-performing team.
As Carlos’ contract with Ferrari expires in 2024, Sergio Perez’s deal with Red Bull will also come to an end at the same time. Perez has not yet been offered an extension, indicating that his team is open to exploring other options for the 2025 season. Express Sports UK reports that Carlos Sainz Sr. was seen in conversation with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, Chief Advisor Helmut Marko, and Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey. This meeting could potentially propose a lucrative deal between the current World Championship-winning team and the only non-Red Bull driver to win a Grand Prix in 2023.

At the age of 39, Lewis Hamilton is entering his 18th year in Formula 1, a time when most racers retire from the pinnacle of motorsports. However, the Briton shows no signs of slowing down as he has signed a multi-year contract with Ferrari to partner with Charles Leclerc next year. When this news broke, most reports suggested that Ferrari had been pursuing Hamilton for quite some time, offering him a staggering salary as a seven-time World Champion.
Contrary to popular belief, Carlos Sainz claims that it was Lewis Hamilton who approached Ferrari to present his services to the team, rather than the team actively pursuing him.
In other news, Carlos Sainz has emerged as a top candidate for Williams, who may replace Logan Sargeant with the Spaniard in 2025. However, Sainz’s team has remained tight-lipped about his future prospects, and none of the reports have been verified.
